MATT TINNELL, PERCUSSION COORDINATOR | JOSH BYRD, ORGANIZER

Thomas Dvorak is Professor Emeritus of Music/Director of Bands at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, a position he held for 28 years, beginning in 1979 until his retirement in 2007. Currently he serves as Conductor Laureate of the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, the first such appointment in the history of the Youth Symphony. Beginning in 1988, he assumed the position of Director of Wind Ensembles for the Youth Symphony and in this position was responsible for developing young middle school-aged students in rehearsals, masterclasses and concerts. Professor Dvorak has had a very distinguished career, appearing as a conductor/guest lecturer in 30 states as well as Canada, Europe, Norway, Japan and Australia. In 1994, he became the first American university conductor to serve at the University of Lauceston’s Summer Music School in Tasmania, Australia, conducting and performing on trumpet with the faculty brass quintet; subsequently, and near that same time period, he served as Principal Conducting teacher for the Australian Band and Orchestra’s Conducting Symposium held in Melbourne, Australia. Following this initial appearance in Australia, he was invited along with the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee’s Wind Ensemble and Symphony Band in 1996, to perform a concert tour of Australia, culminating in a performance for the Ninth Annual Conference of the Australian Band and Orchestra’s Conference held in Melbourne. He began his teaching career in the public schools of Wisconsin, where he is a native and graduate of the University of Wisconsin. During his teaching career, the McFarland High School Band Program, and Elementary Band Program under his guidance, became a nationally recognized instrumental music program with performances and clinics/lectures at two National MENC Conferences and several performances at the Wisconsin Music Educator’s Conference. In 1973, he was awarded a graduate fellowship for Doctoral Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. In 1974, he won a faculty position at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor as an Assistant Professor of Music, where one of his primary roles was the conducting and directorship of the University of Michigan Youth Wind Ensemble. In 1978, he led the UM Youth Wind Ensemble in a performance at the Music Educator’s National Conference in Chicago, IL; during the summer of 1978, and prior to his appointment as Director of Bands at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, he was appointed conductor of the Summer Wind Ensemble and teacher of conducting at his Alma Mater, the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Thomas Dvorak has received numerous awards during his career, including an “Outstanding Secondary Educator of America” for his distinguished achievements with the McFarland High School Band Program. He has six times been presented the “Citation of Excellence” by the National Band Association; his biography is listed in the “International Who’s Who in Music” and in the “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers.” In September 2004, Professor Dvorak was honored by the Instrumentalist Magazine, with a cover photo and interview discussing his music making and philosophy of teaching. In July 2014, he was honored with the “A. Austin Harding Award” for his valuable and dedicated service to the school bands of America, given by the American School Band Directors Association, Inc. He has held offices as President of the North Central Division of CBDNA and as Second Vice-President of NBA; within NBA, he served as Chairman of the Composition Contest for fourteen years. He has during his career, authored many articles concerning repertoire, composers and conducting; he is the senior author of a repertoire series for schools bands published by Manhattan Beach Music, New York, and is the co-editor/author of “Teaching Music through Performance in Beginning Band” published by GIA Publications, Chicago, IL. At the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, a scholarship for music majors bears his name, and each year a deserving student is awarded with this scholarship. Finally, within the State of Georgia, he has been honored to guest conduct at various times during his career, notably, the Georgia Intercollegiate Band, the University of Georgia’s Summer Music Camp, numerous appearances at Armstrong University’s Winterfest, and most recently, as guest conductor for the Gwinnett County High School Honor’s Band.
